A for AAP, A for Anarchy?

“No, no, no… once someone has sat on a hunger strike for a cause, the genuineness
of that cause has been established intrinsically. -AAP Philosophy”

AAP does signify a change in Indian politics. AAP symbolises
a shift in our elections from vote-buying to agenda-selling. It brought
elections to our FB posts and Tweets. AAP made politics, which happened to be a fashion
disaster, a personality statement. Youths, who are often blatantly ignorant of
the party’s agendas, find it hip to be associated with AAP; improves
street-cred. As if being affiliated to AAP renders them some sort of political
righteousness and help them to be perceived as a member of an intellectual segment. It has
become analogous to “Eh Man! I am apolitical” of pre-AAP days. I am not
denying their contributions in Indian politics and I sincerely hope that there
are many yet to come but still there ways do call for some scepticism. There
are the signs that insinuate about the shortcomings of AAP’s approach. Not
everything that AAP is feeding us is healthy. Following paragraph has a satirical
tone and is not factually accurate, however you should try to get the gist of it. If you
are staunch AAP fan, I swear to have nothing against it but, at times, it makes me
wonder.

Of all AAPs accomplishments one that will always be remembered is how after
colonial era INC, it has become the other political party that has organised so
many successful protests and dharnas, only difference being those dharnas often
hampered British economy and these encumber Indian. Furthermore, AAP is so
obsessed with dharnas that it has recently decided to make it an official mode
of communication of the party. Glimpses of this where recently observed when CM
of Delhi decided to talk to its ally in state govt. Congress regarding an issue
with two police officers he had to leave his office unattended and sit at
Rajpath. For AAP there was nothing wrong and unconstitutional for a CM to
resort to agitation and street in the same state where he has been elected and
sworn to instate order.

“They may call us anarchist and all this bullshit. The people will kill those
critics. We believe dharnas are
essential for democracy. They are really flashy and heroic and suit our Tweet
the Toilets marketing policy. ” one of the senior AAP leaders replied to the
media on the BJP’s accusations on being anarchists.

On the other hand, to commemorate AAP achievements, Central
Govt. gave in to AAP’s illegitimate demand. They didn’t give in to Somnath
Bharti’s demands because they were not supposed. Moreover, Indian laws does
permit arbitrary search and even, trafficking laws are there to protect victims and not to criminalise them. But AAP in its self-righteousness has
decided to undermine the law. The
central govt. has also decided to give AAP’s Dharnas a judicial status. After
all, if they were sufficient to prove dereliction of duty on policemen’s part,
they could also very well indict murderer. Oh! Let us just do away with the
judicial procedures, we should just wait and watch which side the omniscient
and the righteous AAP protects for and the justice is done. AAP never bothered
about the inconvenience that was caused to working class commuters when they
held Rajpath at Ransom. To extend its
unconditional support to AAP, Central Govt. has decided to consider dharnas as
a standard of progress of a state as they had once branded Vasectomy as one. The
rookie in the business was the master of the art as AAP's Delhi proved to be the most progressive.

As I stated, AAP is a change, a change which was thoroughly needed. People are
aware, Politicians are awake. AAP is revolutionary but is it evolutionary. In
moments like these we need to introspect whether in all this commotion, the
stability that can ensure development is not being sacrificed.

If experiencing the unpleasant can trigger gleeful memories of past, then that spell in past must have been extraordinarily cheerful.
When I last wrote a blog, I was still in college. Writing a blog was one of the leisure I could pursue given the luxury of time. But more importantly, writing a blog was testimony of my naive belief that an idea should always be expressed and mere expression of a thought can spark a change in itself. Such were those days. Today I am writing to pay reverence to a time when to me world still appeared to be salvable (I am not certain of it being a word, but it suited my purpose the most). "I am pissing steam"

It all started with today's fucking cold weather in Bangalore. Yes, to my surprise, it does get chilly here. Though, it is not really worrisome, but it did get me thinking about the steam pissing cold ( as Tanuj would put it) we used to have in the campus. Those were the times when I used to leave a laptop under my blanket with Call …

"For all its faults we love this city." - The city of Djinns
The thought of spending a couple weeks in Delhi in mid-April is something most people would dread and yet, I was brimming with excitement and anticipation. To me, it presented an opportunity to break away from the monotonic work culture of Bangalore and to reminisce about the old days with my college wing-mate in the city I once used to call my second home. Now, while sitting in my return flight to Bangalore, I am penning down my memoir of this trip to Delhi. Heat, Warmth and Hotheads
Summer heat was the first thing I sensed after stepping out of my flight in Delhi. This experience completely wiped out whatever tranquil effect was lingering on from the mesmerising aerial view of the city from my flight- ’ The floating island of lights in the sea of darkness' . I estimated the temperature in Delhi at the moment - validated it using the Accuweather app and registered the fact that Delhi nights were hotter than …

“We, being a secular party, believe that religious minorities deserve
reservation. – Samajwaadi Party”
If you are unable to notice the apparent irony in the aforementioned
statement, it is by no fault of yours for we have been raised, essentially, in
a society where notions of secularism are derived from political acuity and
intellectual hypocrisy. The term secular has been frequently in a skewed sense
by the government in order to justify controversial policies, political parties
to procure votes, by intellectuals to exhibit religious tolerance and
sensitivity and the revered media to denounce the so-called ‘non-secular
parties’. Various political parties and multitudes of wiseguys, for long, have
been meddling with the idea of secularism is such a way that it is being
misconstrued by the majority of commoners. For decades, policies have been amended,
minorities have been appeased and vote banks have been secured in the name of secularism.
Finally, I would like to pose the pertinent…

About Me

I believe nothing is definitive and thus, I can't really describe how I am. In actuality, how I am to X will certainly differ from how I am to Y. However, due to concurrence of opinion a majority of such X and Ys (my friends) I am forced to believe that I do possess certain traits which is witnessed by most of them. It is indisputable that I am more serious than I should be.
I am dogmatic(they all say and I always disagree, which eventually confirms their acquisition). I am weird and boring(disputable). However everything mentioned can be false as well. It depends on how much you know me..and frankly speaking you never know enough.
